What's Inside: Beauty Box 5 Road Trip Ready July 2016

July 27, 2016

 Today I have a look what is inside the July Beauty Box 5. There are a good variety of products in this month's box and all of them I haven't tried before. The theme for this box is "Road Trip Ready" and I could definitely see myself taking these items on a fun summer road trip. Find out more about these products below!

Hikari Cosmetics Eye Shadow (Retail: $13, full size) - This is a gorgeous eyeshadow in the shade Moonlit and it is a good size to take on the go with you. Even though it has shimmer, it wasn't too chunky and the shadow was easy to blend. 

Sweep Rose Gold Tweezers (Retail: $14, full size) - Tweeezers can always come in handy on a road trip so they are necessary to have. These tweezers by Sweep are great at catching every hair, even the smallest ones. The small mirror was a bonus in the box and really appreciated!

Skinny Tan Mini Mitt (Retail: $4.95, full size) - This is the cutest tanning mitt to help apply self tanner on the face and small areas. It will help to keep your hands stain free and apply your product streak free. 

Chella Tantalizing Taupe Eyebrow Color Pencil (Retail: $18, full size) - I love Chella products and this is the first time I'm trying out their eyebrow pencil. It has a super fine tip and doesn't need to be sharpen which is a plus. I will report back and do a review soon on this in a separate blog post.

Beauty Box 5 Round Blending Brush (Retail $10, full size) - This is a soft blending brush that comes in handy to blend out eyeshadow and even apply highlight. It is a great brush that I can add to my collection and works great.

In case you didn't notice, this month's box had everything full size! All of the products I will use and can definitely come in handy. Let me know what you think of this month's Beauty Box 5!

Beauty Box 5 is $12 a month and includes free shipping.
